Optima Biltmore Tower Lock Box Policy Update

April 23, 2010 – 9:45 pm

Several months ago I wrote that the home owner association at Optima Biltmore Towers was outlawing real estate agent lock boxes.  I had expected the policy to make it much harder to show condos in the community.  Well it has.  Here are a couple of things agents have resorted to doing to show condos for sale in the building.

Construction of unfinished condos at the newly renamed One Lexington (formerly Century Plaza Condominiums) high rise condo building in midtown Phoenix is moving along.  Work began on the thirteenth floor about two months ago and has progressed to lower floors since then.  At the rate things are going we believe that condos will be ready to go to [...]

Oops! The Real Name is One Lexington Not One Lexington Place

February 10, 2010 – 10:04 pm

Well, we scooped The Phoenix Business Journal with the news that the building formerly known as Century Plaza got a new name.  However,  I misreported the new name.  It is One Lexington NOT One Lexington Place as I mistakenly wrote yesterday. The Business Journal did go public with expected starting prices for the soon to be re-released [...]

Century Plaza Becomes One Lexington

February 9, 2010 – 6:46 pm

You may have read last week that Century Plaza, the once failing high-rise condo building in midtown Phoenix, had turned a major corner when Macdonald Development Corporation purchased the remaining 130 condominiums from M&I Bank.  With the purchase we told you to expect a new infusion of cash and condos offered at significantly reduced prices. For at least the last [...]

Century Plaza Back In Business

February 2, 2010 – 7:46 am

The remaining 130 condominiums at Century Plaza are finally out of limbo (foreclosure) and are coming back to the market in the near future at significantly lower prices.  We can’t release those prices yet but suffice it to say that they will again “make sense” and should result in tremendous sales activity even in today’s real [...]

High Rise and Loft Condo Sales Jump in 2009

January 6, 2010 – 9:17 am

I just dug through some more MLS data.  As I’m sure all our readers would expect, the number of high-rise and loft foreclosures and short sales were way up this last year. From January 1 to December 31, 2008, the total number of “distressed” sales of high-rise condos and lofts was 94.  These 94 properties [...]

Response to Optima Biltmore Tower Lock Box Post

November 7, 2009 – 9:22 pm

I got an anonymous and somewhat derogatory email from a person who was pretty indignant about my previous blog post.  One of his or her many points was “In my entire career, I’ve never seen a real estate firm post a “negative” about a building. The article states that removing the lock boxes will cause [...]
